Have you ever looked at your to-do list and just wanted to run away? Sometimes, procrastination gets the best of us self-employed people. It seems that everything is priority and we tend to put some things on the back burner. The thing is, if the items on your to-do list have to do with marketing and Client Attraction, then you don’t want to ignore them (if you do, your pipeline of prospects will be empty in 6 months, or less). Procrastination creeps its ugly head in my business every now and then.

In a world in which new trends and fads come and go in the bling of an eye, brands can often become confused in the midst of this constant change. As a brand, deciding whether or not to give into the many trends that come and go can be a difficult decision and one that can have significant impact on the brand’s success. As a branding consultant, I often get asked two questions related to current trends: “How should trends be considered when it comes to a brand's identity?

There are certain traits a person must have if he wishes for success, and this is true for both life in general and in merely having a commercial printing job done.

With the advent of the cyberspace age in the 1980's, internet marketing was born. As more and more people signed on online, the more business advertising grew.

Handbags are the new shoes, the must have "it" accessory that has all the fashion-istas clamouring for the latest offering from popular designers. It's also a market that has more in common with the male-dominated world of classic cars than you'd realise. nFew of you will have missed the fuss a couple of months ago when Sainsbury's sold 20,000 "I'm not a plastic bag" Anya Hind-march totes for [pound]5 each. Within hours those same unbleached cotton bags were selling for in ex

If we're in business, it's comforting to know that we’re not the first to walk this journey. Thousands of very successful business people have done this before, and they’ve made their findings available to us through books, coaching, videos, and the Internet. With so much information out there (and much of it free) why don’t we see more millionaires rising up from the grassroots? People like Andrew Carnegie and John Rockefeller didn’t have access to even a fraction of what we have ready available today. We should see more rising stars than ever before.

QUOTE:”Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.” – Ghandi Sometimes, despite the stellar marketing plans, our “positive thinking”, our resolve, our determination and manifesting, we have doubts about whether we can really “do” this. Let’s admit it. Sometimes fear steps in anyway, despite our best intentions. The inner doubt begins to take over and we wonder if it’s really going to “happen”. Thing is, the way we feel about our business directs the actions that we take.

A few years ago, my son and his four friends—geeks all of them—gathered at his apartment for an all nighter of networked gaming. Several of the guys brought their computers and they proceeded to hook them up. Everything went fine, but one computer wouldn’t show up in the system. Brows lowered, they ran diagnostics and checked settings. They went back and did them again. Still nothing. They rolled up their sleeves and dug in deeper. Two hours later, someone screamed. The other four looked up as from a dream. In the screamer’s hand was the dangling cord. The computer was unplugged.

In sifting through emails from a R&D survey I launched a couple of years ago, I read the responses, and honestly, I wanted to cry. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I haven’t been aware that most solopreneurs have very low expectations of what could be made in self-employment (I’ve been at this for almost 10 years after all!), but I just didn’t know how LOW.

It’s a little bit of a double-edged sword, with the advent of the Internet and it’s wide effects on business and marketing, companies have a been able to expand their customer base from a smaller, local reach to a worldwide potential consumer base.

By the 1970s, printers that are capable of printing out the images from a desktop computer have already been developed and have started to gain popularity. These are called the inkjet printers, which are in use even until today, having undergone many improvements and changes since. Inkjet printers are not used as much by commercial printers in commercial printing, who usually specialize in offset printing, and they are more commonly used in normal households and office. Still

When talking about their business, most solo-preneurs make the mistake of describing exactly what they do, in boring detail. “My company has been in business for X number of years and we use the newest technology systems. We use a complicated series of… blah blah blah.” Many coaches and consultants talk about coaching ad nauseam, “What is coaching, are you coachable, what is your coachability index, who is the coach, blah blah blah”. I know, because I did it too in the beginning and it didn’t work.

The mistake that most self-employed people in private practice looking for clients make is that they tell people about what they think they do, instead of the results the client wants to receive. The problem is, people don’t necessarily want a journey; they want a direct route to a solution. Essentially, they want RESULTS, first and foremost.

Hiring someone to do a service for you can be a scary proposition. The fact is that you just don't know if you're going to be wasting your money or not. Wasting money is of course the worst thing a company can do and should be avoided at all costs. Many people think that all they need to do to get their business started is to have a website and pass out business cards. What will this really mean to someone who is considering hiring you? To answer this question, you need to look at the situation from their prospective. Someone hands you a business card that reads "Joe's Plumbing" on it.

There was a time when things were simple. We would work in the job places and were personally paid in hard cash and so was true for business transactions. But with the passage of times, everything has undergone a great deal of sophistication and so has the mode of payments. Besides, worsening security, has put the people on alert and they don’t want to carry their hard earned cash in their pockets. Also, time has shrunk and it has made all the human activities to shrink. So, the new priorities, include means of payment that are fast, safe and secure.

Consistency is absolutely one of the key success strategies to apply to any area of your life where you are seeking positive change. It is also something I resisted for a very long time. I am a spontaneous soul. I thrive in environments that offer variety. I love the unexpected. I am a crisis and trauma specialist and worked in that field for many years. I am hard-wired that way. What I didn’t like was routine, structure, sameness of any kind. And then I applied the value of Consistency to a business that was perplexing me and frustrating me, and voila! The magic ingredient.

The publishing business has changed dramatically in the past few years. Today, nearly anyone can publish a book it seems. Hundreds of thousands of new books hit the shelves every year. But very few people are successful at all in regards to marketing their books, with the average number of sales being around 200 over the life of the author. Marketing books is a real challenge for many people. In my work with hundreds of authors, I have identified 10 primary reasons why a book marketing strategy may fail. 1.

One of the great things about direct mail is that there are only there main components – the list, the offer and the copy. If you get them all right, your direct mail efforts have a great chance for success.

While there has been a lot written about colors, typefaces, paper size, et., those are all minor variables when compared to the list, offer and copy. Here is where to focus your attention as you plan your direct mail effort: The List.

Corporate giveaways are the ideal way to award the existing customers and get noticed by the potential ones. Corporate parties are quite different from the social ones.

Tip 1: Make a list of objectives that you want to achieve before starting the process. You don’t want to limit your idea and thought process, but you do want to define objectives to accomplish. When it comes to PR brainstorming, your goal is to come up with a list of the most important story ideas including new business concepts, the unique value you offer, important information you can give, and anecdotal stories. Also spend some time focusing on how and why you can be presented as an expert regarding your company, your business, and your overall field.

“How do I build the perfect sales cycle or the perfect sales process?” I’m often asked this question and my answer tends to disappoint those who are looking for quick answers to challenging problems. There is no such thing as a perfect sales cycle, or a perfect sales process that you can either build or replicate and unleash on your entire market. Sorry, but that’s the truth. To assume otherwise is akin to treating sales no differently from any mass-produced product,

There are several reasons why physicians, more than those in other professions, can benefit from an effective media relations campaign.

Those physicians that are featured in the media are seen as trusted experts. They are the physicians that the consumers and potential patients are going to seek out.

Do you speak often and wonder how you can get paid to speak? Getting paid speaking gigs is a real possibility. When you’re paid to speak, you’re earning money to give your presentation and get clients at the same time. Just keep in mind that the speaking business can be an entire business in itself, beyond the services you already offer. I still take advantage of speaking opportunities that don’t pay which, by the way, is true of many associations. Why do I agree to do this? Speaking, paid or unpaid, is good for many reasons: 1. For the exposure 2. To get clientsr

You, the possibility seeker, you know what you want, even if it’s not clearly defined yet, even if you are just starting to step into it, just starting to open the door and take a peek at the possibilities for your life that are beginning to call out to you.

Even in a down economy beauty sells. The cosmetic industry was born in the Great Depression. This is one industry where it pays to promote when things are good, but pays even more to market aggressively when times are tough. As in the fields of entertainment and fashion, a strong public relations campaign is critical when it comes to establishing a beauty product or cosmetic brand. It’s important to develop a basic game plan and work it on a weekly basis.

You've heard it said that "action speaks louder than words." When it comes to growing your business and increasing your revenue, action screams 10x louder than then wishing, planning AND words combined.
